Feeling Smug About Reading the Room
I knew Theresa would overreact when I borrowed her garbage can
I did it anyway, because I wanted to see her reaction.
My girlfriend Gee, knew about the theft.
She could not stop laughing, realizing who we were dealing with.
Garbage cans go missing all the time here, they are easily replaced.
Theresa did not even get inside her room

Smug
Smugness in human behaviour
Is such an unappealing trait
A smug word ,a smug smile
Only provokes hate
If a smug superior attitude
Is all you offer and deliver
Zip your mouth and lock it
And throw the key in the river!!

Elementary Mathematics, 101
“After one-hundred, which number comes next?”
inquired Ms. Colvin as she studied her text.
All of us kids raised our hands high,
then Ms. Colvin picked Brett, this one dumb guy.
“Two-hundred,” he said with complete confidence.
“Geez,” I thought, “he sure is dense.”
So I sat up straight
and I felt really great
’cause the answer, I knew,
was one-hundred and two.

A Mug of a Smug
If I can’t me hug,
Nor can on my shoulder cry,
Fine, I’m such a mug,
But did I gripe why?
So what if I’m such a smug.

My Smug Pillow
My smug Pillow, turns soft and virtuous
Where lay I at her pumping left side
Umpteen hurt i 've had, she stand still, conscious
Spasm of me makes her smile, I besides
Serenely words of her pain, raise me today
Faint time no see, if danger up she cures
At a night

The Smug and Silver Trent
"The smug and silver Trent" - Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part I
************************************************
"The smug and silver Trent"
flooded badly in seventeen ninety-five,
when every bridge was damaged/washed away.
It's a risk today, but less so, so they say.
"The smug and silver Trent",
Will Shakespeare's quill recorded,
though at "smug" he took free license,
I would say.

Unlucky Bunny, Smug Cat
My bunny got stuck, he ran out of luck
When a pigeon swooped low on the roof
To make things worse, help was scarce
But my bunny remained aloof
He spent every day in a hutch full of hay
Above the trees and houses
He loved most of all to jump on the wall
And

Smug Smirk
I've long wanted to see
myself in truth's light,
the wrong and the right,
but fear scares me so,
pride boastfully says no,
so smugly smirking I go.
